Marketing

In a reality increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), with changing consumer needs and spending habits, marketers are kept on their toes to answer the demands of the new normal. More than ever, careful analysis of data, and monitoring the effectiveness of implemented strategies are key to success. While omnichannel marketing is still the preferred strategy for many, the efforts need to be aimed at driving consumers to the currently available distribution channels, which, nowadays, are often digital only.
